BLOG POST 2:

Database: Global issues in context.
Link to resource:  "The relation of age, gender, ethnicity, and risk behaviors to self-esteem among

What I learned:

- Age and gender play a role in how you end up interpereting things.
- Self-Esteem can also shape the way you act towards others.
- Mainstream and Non-mainstream students. (Popular, unpopular)
- Non-mainstream students have a bigger risk of suicide attempts than Mainstream students.
- Ethnicity also shapes how feelings are transfered from one to another. (African-American, asian, etc.)
- Grade level - Lower grades (Not a huge deal) Higher grades - struggle to find new friends.
- Environment - School status, neighborhood, etc.

Questions:

- Does bullying play a role in this?
- Does attention play a role in this? Little things such as compliments, gestures, or a hello.
